Marking Invalid because:
1. No thresholds were specified - specifying some kind of thresholds would
actually cause it to monitor properly.
2. Check_ntp is deprecated and both replacement plugins, check_ntp_peer and
check_ntp_time, should not show this weird behaviour.
** Changed in:
This was a feature since check_ntp had multiple possible possible
thresholds (-w/-c, -j/-k). Without any threshold specified it was not
checking anything besides receiving a response.
check_ntp_* does return critical on these cases and check_ntp is
deprecated and its behavior will not change.

I can't reproduce this on my desktop machine or on my nagios server.
I can; with up-to-date hardy:
# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ntp -H 127.0.0.1; echo $?
NTP OK: Offset unknown|
0
# ntpq -p
No association ID's returned
#
What version are you running (check_ntp -V)?
